iMPROvEMENT IN 'HOLDERS FOR BILLS, NOTES, sw..

Specifica-tion forming part of Leters Patent No. 36,734. dated October2l, 1862.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known *that I, GEORGE K. SNOW, of Vatertown, in the county ofMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and ImprovedHolder for Bills, Notes, &c., for use in stores, ticket and otheroffices; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connectionwith the drawings, which accompany and form part of this specificatlon,is a description of my invention sufficient to enable those skilled inthe art to practice it.

Theobject of my invention is to meet a want inaugurated by the presentextensive use of paper currency, especially by the introduction of thePostage Currency.

It consists in a holder of peculiar construction, having reference tofacility of packing and withdrawing notes, bills, or tickets, and totheir securityI in the positions assigned them.

' tickets, dto., of a'size suited to the trough.

In Figure l of the drawings there is shown 1n section a series of threeof such angularl troughs or trays, each of which has its presserattached, though the method of attaching the presser isshown varied ineach of the three instances. The construction, however, which I preferis thatof the tube placed loosely upona fixed rod, as this presser isreadily lifted by the contact of the ngers therewith when these presenta limp and crumpled note for deposit beneath the presser. The plan, Fig.2, shows a combination of several of the trays or troughs with theirrespective pressers, and also with Y Fig. 1 is a section taken in theline' a a,

Fig. 2.

By inspection ofthe drawings itwill be seen that the angularconstruction of each tray or trough is such as will permit thewithdrawal of the last note or ticket from beneath the presser on theplane of the bottom, which could not be done if the tray were made witha front side,'or otherwise than with substan tially the angular form ofcross-section shown.

I claiml. As a new article of manufacture, the tray or trough when madewith 4a cross-section, substantially as shown, and provided with apresser connected therewith and operating substantially as described.

2. The combination of two or more such trays or troughs and theirrespective pressers, substantially as shown.

GEORGE SNOW.
